Item
RESOLUTION 94-603 RE LYNN NICHOLS OCCUPYING A MOTOR HOME FOR TEMPORARY
LIVING QUARTERS - ADOPTED
Mr. Lynn Nichols explained that he has a family of seven and his
home was completely destroyed by fire on August 1, 1994. He said that
reconstruction will begin immediately. He requested an exception for
a maximum of 120 days to live in a motor home. He explained that
there are vehicles on the premises and he is unable to locate any ren-
tals that would enable his children to remain in the same school
district.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Mulhere, Acting Current
Planning Director, replied that a temporary use permit would be
issued.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Nichols stated that the well
and septic system are intact and electricity will be supplied by an
emergency generator.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, County Attorney Cuyler
stated that if the request is granted, it should not set a precedent.
He advised that the record must clearly state why the action is taken.
Commissioner Saunders remarked that the only way the Board would
approve action such as this again would be in a similar situation.
Coutsstoner Saunders moved, that under the unique circumstances
of this particular case where the house has burned down, and
reconstruction will begin shortly, and there is a time limit for the
permit of 120 days, the Board should approve the 120 day permit for
the use of a motor home on the site.
Commissioner Saunders cautioned Mr. Nichols that If the
reconstruction is not completed before the 120 days he will have to
reappear before the Board and request an extension.
Commissioner Matthews stated that although she does not have a
problem with the intent of the motion, she expressed concern regarding
the possiotlity of opening a flood gate for similar claims.
Page 5
August 16, 1994
County Attorney Cuyler stated that the argument can always be
raised, however and the situation can be differentiated. He said that
he can prepare a resolution that will describe this particular
situation and distinguish it on the facts presented.
Commissioner Matthews stated that the County Attorney should pre-
pare a resolution stating the specific parameters and causes in this
situation such as the children going to a specific school district.
Commissioner Saunders stated that the intent of his motion is to
include the entire record that has been presented. He also directed
the County Attorney to prepare a resolution including all the evidence
presented.
Commissioner Matthews seconded the motion on the floor. Upon call
for the question, the motion carried 5/0, thereby adopting Resolution
94-603.

FAY R. BILES REPRESENTING THE MARCO ISLAND TAXPAYERS' ASSOCIATION RE
TAX CODE 19, MSTD I - STREET RESURFACING - STAFF TO DEVELOP
INFORMATION AND RETURN WITH AN AGENDA ITEM ON SEPTEMBER 13, 1994
Ms. Fay Bl/es, President of the Marco Island Taxpayers'
Association, stated that she is representing all the taxpayers and
citizens on Marco Island. She said that she is requesting a separate
MSTD 1 for Marco Island. She presented a letter from Harold Van of
the Marco Island Vision Planning Committee that the Master Planning
Committee approved. She noted that the Master Planning Policy
Commission is made up of all the organizations and associations on
Marco Island. She remarked on the large area comprised in MSTD 1.
Ms. Btles stated that the citizens of Marco Island see less than
two miles of roads paved on Marco Island. She said that the roads on
Marco Island are 35 years old and showing sign of neglect.
Ms. Bfles stated that this fiscal year the Board of County
Commissioners doubled the tax in order to restore streets in East
Naples after sewer installations were made. She said that the citi-
zens of Marco Island pay to 13 different ad-valorem taxing authori-
ties. She said that the revenue is entirely from ad-valorem taxes.
She stated that unlike the image some people hold of Marco Islanders,
the citizens are not wealthy.
Ms. Btles stated that this petition requests a modification of
MSTD 1 to confine revenue and expenditures to only Marco Island
repaying. She said other Marco Island roadwork should be funded out
of Road and Bridge funds as it is elsewhere.
County Manager Dorrill said that he and Transportation Services
Administrator Archibald do not disagree with anything that Ms. Btles
has stated. He agreed that Marco Island has been shorted tn the last
two years but that was the result of a different policy decision made
to lower the cost of sewer installation in East and South Naples. He
explained the MSTD was used to resurface the roads but did not include
road rebuilding in the sewer assessment in an effort to lower the cost
August 16, 1994
of sewer installation.
Mr. Dorrill stated that each Commissioner has their own road
resurfacing district. He remarked that the request would fragment
these communities by allowing the more effluent communities to go
there own way and permitting the less effluent neighborhoods to raise
their ad-valorem taxes in order to resurface their roads. He said
that is why the road resurfacing districts are as large as they are.
He said that if Marco Island wants to see accelerated road paving at
the district level there is nothing to prevent them from having their
own district. He stated that Staff recommends that the present
district paving system remain in tact because it requires a com-
bination of assessed values in order for the system to work.
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald stated that he
does not concur that the roads on Marco Island have been neglected.
He said that almost all the money over a period of time for paving has
been put onto Marco Island. He said that the resurfacing that
resulted in past sewer projects on Marco Island have been funded by
MSTD 1. He said there have been years when the majority of funds were
spent on Marco Island and other periods of time when funds were
expended in other areas of the MSTD. He stated that in 1993 the
millage was between 14.7 and 15 mils on the island for ad-valorem and
of that 3/100th of a mil was being allocated to this program. He said
that amounts to approximately $3.00 a year for a $100,000.00 home. He
stated that the MSTD is at a very low rate. He said that due to the
decline in gasoline tax not only is road resurfacing costs included in
the MSTD but also costs for materials for drainage improvements,
shoulder repairs, and surface repair work.
Commissioner Norris stated that since this ]s a public petition he
suggests that Staff be directed to develop information and present it
as a regular agenda item.
Commissioner Constantine agreed.
Commissioner Saunders stated that this is a tax equity issue. He
stated that most of the tourist taxes and gasoline taxes are being
Page 8
August 16, 1994
generated from Marco Island and very little benefit is going back. He
stated that he agrees that this item should be researched and pre-
sented as an agenda item,
Commissioner Matthews pointed out that people that live on Marco
Island have vehicles and use roads throughout the County. She
said that the equity issue exists throughout the County to help all of
the roads that are used by everyone.
Commissioner Volpe stated that he supports bringing back the
information. He said that the information must go beyond this MSTD 1.
He remarked that it should be looked at County wide.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, Transportation Services
Administrator Archibald replied that he will try to have the infor-
mation by September 13, 1994.
County Manager Dotrill agreed to present a comprehensive analysis.
In response to Commissioner Matthews, Mr. Dorrill confirmed that the
assessed value of the Marco Island Independent Fire District is
$2,450,000,000.00. He said that 1 mil would raise $2.45 million
dollars annually. He stated that the assessed value of MSTD 1 is
$3,317,000.00. He remarked that Marco Island is approximately two
thirds of the assessed value of a large road resurfacing district.
Commissioner Volpe pointed out that we are already into the new
budget year. He said that whatever change is made will not become
operative until the next fiscal year.
Mr. Dotrill stated that the earliest that Marco Island could have
their own district is January 1, 1995.

Item #7C
ROBERT G. HIR~S - WATER SERVICE AT 60 FOUNTAIN CIRCLE - STAFF TO
DEVELOP INFORMATION AND RETURN WITH AGENDA ITEM ON SEPTEMBER 13, 1994
Robert Hines stated that this item resulted in a water service
problem to a residence in the Vineyards which he represents and is the
present occupant of this particular unit. He explained that the pre-
sent occupant (Mr. McDonnell) received a bill for water service that
Page 9
August 16, 1994
had been provided to the unit to a prior tenant and the owner of the
unit who now resides in Europe. He said that Mr. McDonnell is willing
to pay the bill but questions whether the County could assign a statu-
tory lien to him. He said that the County Attorney's office advised
that there is no precedent for this action.
Mr. Hines explained that he researched the issue and found that
Counties and Municipalities do have the authority to assign these
types of liens provided that there is enabling legislation to support
the assignment.
Commissioner Saunders stated that if the assignment is found inva-
lid, the County will have no exposure.
County Attorney Cuyler said that the concern is statutory
authority. He said that since this is a public petition, he suggests
that the item be continued to allow Staff to do in depth research.
Mr. Hines stated that the funds to pay the lien are in an escrow
account. He said that action on this issue would give the Utilities
Department an additional remedy in these cases.
Commissioner Volpe agreed that action would assist the Utilities
Department. He said that he does not agree that if the lien is paid
that the County can assign it to anyone.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, County Attorney Cuyler
stated that he would be able to research the Jssue and return with a
presentation on September 13, 1994.
Mr. Hines asked if service to the unit will be continued?
Mike McNees, Acting Utilities Administrator, confirmed that ser-
vice to the unit will be continued. He said that the Utilities
Department encourages any leverage the current owner can get to
collect from the previous owner.

Item #TD
LOUISE TIFI~Y RE A PUMP STATION EASEMENT - STAFF TO DEVELOP INFOR/(ATION
AND RETURN WITH AGENDA ITEM IN OCTOBER
Alex Tt2fy stated that he is seeking equitable relief for the
economic loss that was sustained by the County installation of a pump
Page 10
August 16, 1994
station on their lot. He said that in 1988 he and Mrs. Tiffy were
approached by the Utilities Division requesting an easement. He said
they were reluctant to grant the easement but were told that they
would be forced one way or the other. He explained that in order to
induce the granting of the easement they were provided two photographs
depicting the similar installations. He said that by relying on that
information they granted the easement. He stated that the installa-
tion resulted in an unsightly antenna and concrete driveway extending
from the property line to the drive. He revealed that in exchange for
the easement the District abandoned the special assessment of
$4,500.00. He said that instead of increasing the value of the pro-
perty, the installation of the pump station rendered the property
valueless. He stated that recognizing this the Property Appraiser
reduced the assessment from $11,000.00 to $5,000.00. He said that
they have been attempting to sell the property for three years but
have received no offers. He said that as a result of the installation
of the pump station he has received an economic loss between
$14,000.OO and $17,000.00. He requested relief.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Tiffy replied that
the amount of $14,000/$17,000 was derived from comparable sales in the
area.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. McNees stated that the
Utilities Division has no need for the balance of the property.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, County Attorney Cuyler
suggested that this issue be continued in order to develop more infor-
mation and research alternatives. He said that the Utilities Division
as well as his Office will research the issue.
County Manager Dorrjl] stated that Jf the petitioner has infor-
mation on comparable sales he would like the Real Property Department
to review
Commissioner Matthews suggested that the Property Appraiser's
Office alsn be involved to determine if there were alternatives to
increase the assessment.
Page 11
August 16, 1994
County Attorney Cuyler requested as much time as possible to
investigate the information.
Commissioner Constantine announced that the Utilities Staff, the
County Attorney's staff, the Property Apprafser's Staff and Real
Property department will work together with the petitioner to prepare
an agenda item to be heard in October, 1994.

Item
KIMBERLY MAYDEN, MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY FOUNDATION RE THE LABOR DAY
WEEKEND BOOT DRIVE - APPROVE SAME EXEMPTION AS LAST YEAR
Debbie Rockwell, District Director of the local Muscular Dystrophy
Foundation (MDA), requested a special exemption for their annual Labor
Day Weekend Boot Drive until the new ordinances and Land Development
Code (LDC) is ready. She noted that the firefighters of Collier
County have been conducting boot drives for approximately 20 years.
She said that 1994 will mark the firefighters 40th anniversary working
for MDA. She said that last year in Collier County, the firefighters
raised approximately $10,000.00. She said that money allows MDA to
provide services to the Collier County patients free of charge. She
provided examples of what $10,000.00 can provide. She said that
without the help of the firefighters, MDA would find it very difficult
to provide these services. She requested that the Board grant the
special exemptions for boot drives and that an ordinance similar to
that in Lee County be developed for Collier County.
Assistant County Attorney Manaltch stated that Staff is involved
in the LDC amendment process at this time. He said two alternative
proposals will be included; a total prohibition on different types of
solicitation in road rights-of-way or a permit oriented, limited
exemption. He said that he believes that the Board has the authority
to grant a limited exemption.
Commissioner Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Matthews and
carried unanimously, to approve the same Exemption as last year for
this specific organization and specific purpose.

Item #882
REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION ON ALTERNATIVE ROAD ALIGNMENTS FOR SANTA
BARBARA BOULEVARD BETWEEN DAVIS BOULEVARD AND RATTLESNAKE HAMMOCK ROAD
- STAFF DIRECTED TO PROCEED WITH TRAFFIC ANALYSIS & DELETE ALIGNMENT
NOS. I AND 2
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald stated that the
Executive Summary includes possible alignments for Santa Barbara
Boulevard. He said that Staff has outlined four specific alignments
that were looked at from an environmental standpoint and right-of-way
standpoint. He stated that a cost estimate has been provided. He
said that he is requesting the Board authorize Staff to proceed with
the alignment study so that they can associate the cost of alignment
with the traffic benefit that would be derived. He pointed out that
this project is not included in the five year plan. He said
recognizing that fact, the only Staff concern is to determine that
alignment so that rights-of-ways may be reserved for future road
improvements.
Commissioner Norris remarked that the Executive Summary states
that Santa Barbara Boulevard is part of a major north/south road
corridor. He said that Alignments 1 and 2 come to an end at
Rattlesnake Hammock Road. He said that if the intention is to make it
part of a north/south roadway it would need to be connected with some
other north/south road such as C.R. 951. He said that is what
Alignment 3 or 4 will do assuming that Lely Resort would be able to
connect to
Mr. Archibald explained that the north/south alignment as it
currently exists in the Growth Management Plan does serve an existing
population that is approaching build out. He said Alignment 3 would
serve a larger area including Lely Resort and align with a major
north/south roadway that is part of the Lely Resort project.
In response to Commissioner Norris, Mr. Archibald confirmed that
the wetland situation is a problem that will be encountered in all the
proposed alignments.
Page 15
August 16, 1994
In response to Commissioner Norris, Mr. Archibald replied that
rather than proceed with the permitting process in the near future, he
would prefer to proceed with a Preliminary Design & Engineering {PDaE}
Study. He said that this would show environmental permitting agencies
that Staff has considered other alignments and identified the
environmental impacts on all. He said that Staff needs to review the
needs that will be served by the alignments.
Commissioner Norris pointed out that the large triangular section
depicted in the Executive Summary is completely residential inter-
nally. He said that the only commercial parcel at all is along the
peripheral with one exception, a small shopping plaza called Riviera
Plaza. He said that he does not believe it is in the citizens best
interest to place a major highway through a residential neighborhood
unless it can be done while addressing residential concerns. He said
that alignments 1 and 2 do not accomplish that but 3 and 4 do.
Commissioner Constantine stated that he concurs with Commissioner
Norris. He commented that alignment 1 is inappropriate if you drive
on St. Andrews Boulevard with any regularity. He suggested deleting
alignment 1. He said that alignments 2 and 3 make more sense, espe-
cially 3. He stated that this is an opportunity to plan far ahead and
put the residents of Lely at ease.
In response to Commissioner Matthews, Mr. Archibald replied that
the dotted lines represent future, multi-lane, divided roadways within
the Lely Resort project.
Commissioner Volpe stated that he concurs with the discussion so
far.
Co~miseioner Norris moved to direct Staff to proceed with the
traffic analysis and to eliminate Alignments 1 and 2.
In response to Commiss/oner Saunders, Mr. Archibald stated that
alignment 2 ties into Polly Avenue to the east. He said that it would
present an environmental problem. He said that he is comfortable with
alignments 3 and 4.
Comimsioner maunders seconded the motion.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried unanimously.

Item #8C1
DISCUSSION RE FUTURE DIRECTION FOR THE EVERGLADES CITY LAUNDRY
BUILDING SATELLITE MUSEUM PROJECT - COMMITMENT TO PROCEED IN
PRESERVATION MANNER & PURSUE GRANT FUNDING
Public Services Administrator Olliff stated that Staff had been
directed to provide information on a small, satellite museum project
in Everglades City that is a small laundry building which was donated
and accepted by the Board of County Commissioners in 1992.
Mr. Olliff reported that there is approximately $48,000.00 in the
budget today and there are two ways to spend this $48,000.00 on the
project. He said that the first option for the Board is to put some
of the funds to immediate repair work. He said that everyone who has
worked on the project to this point agrees that the foundation is the
most important item to be repaired. He stated that the second option
would be to take the funds and levy it against some of the historical
State grant money.
Commissioner Matthews stated that she requested that this item be
placed on the agenda because the Friends of the Museum had not been
able to speak during the budget hearings. She said they wanted to
propose a short plan to use the current year's budget to make the
building grant ready. She stated that she spoke with U. S.
Representative Goss' office this morning. She said that they will
lend their full support in the grant process.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Olliff stated that the only
down side is that the County has a very limited budget. He said that
historic grants involve a specific process and no one on Staff has the
experience to pursue a State grant. He said that he believes that
Collier County has a good chance in obtaining grant monies since the
County has not made application in the past. He said that he feels
this a good project and one that the State would support.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Olliff stated that
the associated operating costs are estimated to be $25,000.00
annually.
Page 17
August 16, 1994
In answer to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Ollfff replied that
there is a certain amount of prestige involved in being included in
the national historical registrar. He said that the community
believes that there is a certain amount of economic impact to the area
by having a building on the national registrar.
County Manager Dorrill stated that the original concept for this
project was to repair the building. He said that this item is now a
request to restore the building and apply for national historic
registrar status.
Tape #2
In response to Commissioner Volpe, County Manager Dorrlll con-
firmed that the Rosemary Cemetery has been designated as a historical
site in conjunction with the historical preservation plan but is not
included on the national registry.
Arthur Lee of the Historic Preservation Board confirmed that the
Palm Cottage, Keewaydin Club and the Depot at Naples are listed in the
national registry. He said that the national registry designation is
a complicated process but it is within the scope of a dedicated group
of individuals.
Chalmers Yielding stated that he has been working on the project
with the Friends of the Museum in Everglades City. He said that he
has done an overall evaluation of the building, documenting how it was
built and made a series of recommendations on each of the parts of the
building. He said that the next phase was to remove existing material
to determine the exact condition of the building. He stated that
along with that some budgeting was done. He reported that the Friends
of the Museum had approximately $4,000/5,000 worth of selected demoli-
tion work completed. He stated that any documented volunteer labor
can apply as matching funds in the State's historic preservation
grants.
Mr. Yielding declared that this is a significant building in the
history of Everglades City and the County. He said that it is a
remarkable structure that, with a couple of exceptions, Is In extre-
Page 18
August 16, 1994
mely good condition. He said that the foundation damage is due to an
oversight in the original construction and the environmental con-
ditions at the site.
Mr. Yielding suggested that the County take local funds, look at
the project as a multi-phase project and levy those funds into
other grant funds. He stated that this project would consist of
approximately three phases of work; the initial planning stage, and
dividing the actual construction into two or three phases. He stated
that generally the exterior work or stabilization is first, then the
interior and exterior restoration.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Yielding explained that he
is an architect that specializes in historic restoration. He said
that he is the historic consultant in this case.
Mr. Yielding suggested that architectural and engineering services
be completed to the construction document stage. He said that at that
point the County could approach the State with an investment in the
project. He also suggested that the County expend the funds to reno-
vate the foundation. He said that doing the work now will prevent
more money from being spent next year because it would ultimately
deteriorate more.
In response to Commissioner Matthews, Mr. Yielding stated that the
entire project would cost approximately $40,000.00. He explained that
any expenditures on this project in the last five years could be
matching funds. He said that the County would need to prove a
$50,000.00 minimum expenditure, which can be levied into a
$150,000/$250,000 grant fund.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, County Manager Dorrill replied
that the tentative budget does not include any funds for a Grant
Writer position. He reported that the School Board has appropriated
funds for a Grant Writer position. He suggested that the County could
possibly share that resource.
Pauline Reeves, Chairman of the Friends of the Museum, stated that
they will continue to work and expend whatever funds they have
August 16, 1994
available to apply for grants.
In response to Commissioner Matthews, Mr. Olliff stated that the
County has spent a few thousand dollars in the past five years for
repair work.
Commissioner Matthews remarked that the funds expended for repair
work plus the funds that were documented for manual labor in the demo-
lition work and the $48,000.00 that has been budgeted is the
$50,000.00 that Mr. Yielding advises the County to have to levy grant
money.
Mr. Lee commented that with the influx of new residents, one way
to accomplish drawing these people into a civic body is to provide a
sense of history.
In response to County Manager Dotrill, Mr. Yielding replied that
there are several grant programs and cycles. He explained that there
are three that this project would fall into. He said that the cycle
for one of the smaller programs is the end of this month and another
at the end of the year. He said that the end of the Category Grant
cycle, which is the large fund, is the end of April. He
said one of the three are legislative cycles which require approval of
the legislature. He stated that the two smaller programs do not.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Yielding stated that
in taking into account the funds that have been expended, the County
should exceed the $50,000.00 that is necessary to levy funds from
the special category grant funds. He advised that this is not a
matching grant. He said that they require a minimum of $50,000.00
investment or a match.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, County Attorney Cuyler stated
that before the County can proceed with engaging a consultant, he
would have to discuss the matter with Public Services Administrator
Olliff.
Commissioner Matthews asked if any bids have been received on the
foundation piers?
Mr. Olliff stated that Staff may have quoted the work using todays
Page 20
August 16, 1994
Code and the amount is approximately $30,000.00.
Mr. Yielding advised that to meet the requirements of the national
historic registry, the County would have to follow the Secretary of the
Interior guidelines for renovation if any grant funds are to be used.
Coxatesloner Matthews moved, to direct Staff to secure bide to get
the pier work done to raise the building, get it leveled and secure
the foundation which will total approximately $30,000.00. She said
that the reutnlng portion could be put toward the design work so that
the County could apply for Preliminary Deslgn and Engineering funds
and take all the funds and levy them into getting a larger grant.
County Manager Dorrtll stated that Staff would do a small engi-
neering type contract to design a bid for foundation work only. He
said that the balance of the remaining fund would be applied toward
seeking a State grant. He advised that the normal RFP process would
be adhered to.
Mr. Yielding suggested that the proper plans and documentation be
done before any construction is done. He said that incorrect
construction could eliminate the chances of any grant funding.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Yielding replied that the
structural integrity of the building will not be at risk in the next
six months.
Commissioner Matthews moved to have the Board of County
Commissioners commit to moving forward on whatever process is needed
to continue to keep this building secure, to have the pier work done
and have it done in a preservation manner so that grant funds can be
secured in the future to complete the entire process.
county Manager Dotrill stated that the remaining carry forward
will go into October and Staff will use that money to pursue the
motion.
Commissioner Norris seconded the motion.
Commissioner Volpe requested clarification on the motion. He said
that he thought the Board was going to direct Staff to develop the
necessary RFP in order to proceed with a planning process for phasing.
Page 21
August 16, 1994
County Manager Dotrill stated that Staff will proceed in order to
be prepared to apply for the second grant cycle which will occur at
the end of the year.
Mr. Olliff pointed out that the County has $48,000.00. He stated
that Mr. Yielding has advised that in order to make application for
grants the County must have full construction drawings in hand. He
said that Mr. Yielding has stated that the cost of the drawings is
estimated to be $40,000.00. He emphasized that in order to do the
foundation work and make grant application the cost would be approxi-
mately $70,000.00.
County Manager Dotrill stated that he thought that the first cycle
is to proceed specifically with planning and engineering before
approaching the preservation cycle.
Mr. Yielding confirmed that the planning and engineering is
integral with preservation. He said that an architect/engineer that
is experienced in preservation must be hired so that the Secretary of
the Interior guidelines will be adhered to. He said that the more
architectural/engineering services that are completed leaves the
County in a better position to receive grant money. He said if the
County is in the process or has completed a national register listing
the more the County would be qualified. He advised that it is impor-
tant to show that the County understands the type of project and has
professionals involved. He said that complete construction documents
are not necessary for all the work in order to qualify for grant
funds.
Commissioner Constantine asked if the $48,500.00 plus the labor
and repairs add up to an amount that can be levied for State
funding?
Mr. Yielding answered in the affirmative.
Commissioner Matthews stated that if the County uses $30,000.00 of
the $48,000.00 to complete the pier work that would leave $18,0OO.00
with which the County can begin to proceed with the design work and
take some of the money to obtain matching grants.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried unanimously.

AMEND AND INCREASE THE BUDGET FOR THE COLLIER COUNTY TOURISM COH~4ITTEE
WITH TOURIST DEVELOPMENT TAXES AND APPROPRIATE CONTRACT AND BUDGET
AMENDI~ENTS - AIrPROVED
Jean Gansel, Budget Analyst, stated that this item is a request
to increase the Collier County Tourism Committee budget. She
explained that the Committee was allocated $661,000 to promote tourism
but are requesting the transfer of $28,000 from advertising to cover
the cost of brochure production. Ms. Ganse/said that the Committee
is also requesting an additional $242,900 to supplement the remainder
of the 1994 calendar year because the original budget was for a nine
(9) month period only.
Commissioner Constantine pointed out that the additional funds
are necessary because of a change in the cycle for submitting TDC
grant applications.
Ms. Gansel indicated that monies are available for funding and
the Tourist Development Council recommends approval of the additional
funds and amendment.
Commissioner Matthews moved, seconded by Commissioner Saunders
and carried unanimously, that the additional funding and appropriate
contract and budget amendments be approved.

Jean Gansel, Budget Analyst, stated that the Senior Professional
Bowlere Association Open has not been funded for 1994 due to the
change in the schedule for TDC grant appllcatton submittals. She men-
tioned that the event was funded in 1993 and was successful. Ms.
Gansel indicated that a request for funding was made at the August 1,
1994 TDC meeting and funding was recommended for the Senior PBA Open
Page 23
August 16o 1994
for no more than $39,350 in appropriate reimbursable expenses.
Mary McDonald stated that the event will be bigger in 1994
because two (2) bowling centers will be utilized and the number of
bowlers has increased from 240 to 308.
Comlisaloner Saunders moved, seconded by Contssioner Matthews
and carried unanimously, that Tourist Development tax funding for no
more than $39,350 in appropriate reimbursable expenses for the Senior

Item d~H3
WAIVER X~tOM CONTRACT PROVISION WITH SWAMP BUOOY, INC., AND COLLIER
COUNTY - APPROVED
Jean Gansel, Budget Analyst, stated that a provision exists
within the contract between Swamp Buggy, Inc., and Collier County
requiring that any commercial material indicate that the event is a
joint project with Collier County funded partially by Collier County
Tourist Development Tax Revenues. Ms. Gansel explained that promo-
tional material for the Swamp Buggy Races held May 28 and 29, 1994
inadvertently omitted the information and the Tourist Development
Council requested that the Board of County Commissioners approve a
waiver to the contract requirement in order to disburse funds.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Ms. Gansel informed that a
subcommittee exists of Tourist Development Council members who review
materials before printing but she is not sure whether the subcommittee
reviewed the subject material or not.
Commissioner Constantine pointed out that $13,734.50 of TDC funds
were allocated for the event but the request for reimbursement is for
only $4,391.52.
Commissioner Matthews stated that a safeguard needs to be
effected to assure another oversight does not occur.
Gene Vaccaro, Executive Director of the Florida Sports Park,
distributed an advertising flyer for the Swamp Buggy Races to be held
Page 24
August 16, 1994
on October 29 and 30, 1994 indicating the event is supported by the
Collier County Tourist Development Council.
County Attorney Cuyler stated that an additional funding request
has not come before the TDC for approval. Mr. Cuyler explained that
the next meeting of the TDC is September 12, 1994 and suggested that
Mr. Vaccaro obtain approval for funding at that meeting prior to
requesting approval by the Board of County Commissioners for fund
distribution.
Commissioner Constantine requested that approval of funding be
placed on the TDC agenda for September 12, 1994.
Ccnmmissioner Saunders moved, seconded by Commissioner Matthews
and carried unanimously, that a waiver from the contract provision
with Swas~ Bu~, Inc., and Collier County regarding commercial adver-
tisin~ material be waived.

Item #8H5
REQUEST FOR STAP"F TO NEGOTIATE WITH SECOND LOWEST BIDDER TO OBTAIN A
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE GOLDEN GATE COMMUNITY CENTER (BID
N0.94-2229) - LATE]lESS OF PROTEST LETTER FROM LOWEST BIDDER, LODGE
CONSTRUCTION, INC., AND THE REQUIREMENT FOR STAFF TO PROVIDE WRITTEN
RESPONSE WAIVED; BID PROTEST DENIED; STAFF AUTHORIZED TO NEGOTIATE
WITH SECOND LOWEST BIDDER, CHRIS-TEL COMPANY OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA,
INC., TO BRING BID AT OR BELOW ALLOCATED PROJECT AMOUNT AND CHAIRMAN
AUTHORIZED TO SIGN CONTRACT IF NEGOTIATIONS ARE SUCCESSFUL
Steve Camell, Purchasing Director, stated that the recommen-
dation before the Board pertains to the award of Bid No. 94-2229 for
the expansion of the Golden Gate Community Center.
Mr. Camell explained that the bids for the Golden Gate Community
Center expansion were distributed in early summer to 42 prospective
bidders, 14 firms artended the prebid meeting and on July 27, 1994 six
(6) bid offers were tendered. He mentioned that the construction
budget for the project is $1.24 million and all base bids received
were over the allocation amount. Mr. Camell stated that the bids
were very competitive with the spread between the first and fifth
place bidders being less than $90,000 for the base bid work.
Mr. Camell stated that immediately after bid opening, Staff
discovered that the apparent low bidder, Lodge Construction, tendered
a bid that was not responsive to specific bid specifications, i.e. the
requirement that the project completion date not exceed 210 days from
Notice To Proceed. He explained that the time frame was weighed
against bid price due to the priority of the project and assuring that
the selected contractor could expediently complete the project. Mr.
Camell indicated that Lodge Construction bid a substantial completion
date of 210 days and a final completion date of 230 days.
Mr. Camell stated that Staff determined that the irregularity in
the bid submitted by Lodge Construction is material and, therefore,
recommends that the contract be awarded to Chris-Tel Company of
Southwest Florida, Inc. of Cape Coral. He explained that Staff will
negotiate with whomever the bid is awarded to in order to bring the
bid in line with the project budget.
Page 26
August 16, 1994
Mr. Camell stated that Staff prepared the Executive Summary for
presentation to the Board of County Commissioners on August 9, 1994
but pursuant to the bid protest policy, an Intent of Protest letter
was received from counsel representing Lodge Construction and the item
was continued to today to afford the opportunity to file a formal pro-
test. He indicated that under the protest policy, the protesting
party has five (5) calendar days from the date of submitting the
Intent letter to file a full protest and the deadline was 5:00 PM on
Monday, August 15, 1994. Mr. Camell explained that technically, the
protest was late as the letter was not received until 5:15 PM. He
mentioned that the protest policy requires the Purchasing Director to
issue a written decision upon receipt of the protest letter but the
requirement is impossible to comply with and still present the item
to the Board today for approval in order to move forward with the pro-
ject. Mr. Camell stated that the protest policy, for the sake of
expediency, enables the Board of County Commissioners to waive por-
tions of the protest policy and Staff is recommending that the late-
ness of the formal protest be waived, permit the protester to make a
presentation today, and that the requirement for the Purchasing
Director to supply a written decision be waived. He explained that
this action will enable the Board to make a decision and settle the
issue today.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, County Attorney Cuyler
stated that he is comfortable with Staff's recommendation.
In response to Commissioner Vo]pe, Mr. Camell informed the Board
that liquidated damages of $750 per day will incur beyond the 210 day
completion requirement.
Mr. Cuyler stated that the Board of County Commissioners can
declare that the protest was late, decline to hear the protester and
deny the bid protest; however, mitigating circumstances have been pre-
sented and Staff's recommendation is in the best interest of the
County.
Commissioner Matthews moved, seconded by Commissioner Norris and
Page 27
August 16, 1994
carried 4/O (Commissioner Saunders out), that the lateness of the pro-
test letter be waived, the requirement for Staff's written response be
waived and allow the protester to present their case.
Mr. Camell informed the Board that the difference between the
first and second lowest bidders is $47,000.
Mr. Camel1 indicated that a meeting was held this morning with a
Lodge Construction representative and their legal counsel, Humphrey &
Knott, to further discuss the issue and everyone is in agreement as to
the facts but the Board of County Commissioners is being requested to
make a reasonable interpretire judgment of the facts and the affects
therefrom.
Mr. Camell distributed copies of the Formal Protest of Award of
Bid, Tabulation for Bid #94-2229 indicating the number of days for
substantially complete and final acceptance and the Bid Schedule sub-
mitted by Lodge Construction.
Mr. Camell pointed out that on the day of bid opening,
July 27,1994, a Staff member advised the Lodge Construction represen-
tative of the potential problem in regard to the time offer because of
the explicit requirement to offer a bid schedule which does not exceed
210 days for final completion.
Mr. Camell explained that late afternoon on July 27, 1994, a
letter was received from Lodge Construction advising that it was their
intent to have bid final completion at 210 days. He indicated that
more information was contained in additional correspondence received
reiterating of the intent to bid the project at final completion at
210 days. Mr. Camell stated that the day after the bid opening,
Assistant County Attorney Manalich, Mr. Camell and Tom Donegan, OCPM,
met to discuss the ]~sue and determined that there was not an inherent
contradiction which might support the contention that they meant
210 days. He pointed out that in two (2) places, Pages C-2 and C-8 of
the Bid Schedule submitted by Lodge Construction, "230" calendar days
was inserted on the same line and just prior to the sentence that read
"The date not to exceed 210 calendar days."
Page 28
August 16, 1994
Mr. Camell stated three (3) possible conclusions exist: 1) the
real intent was to have substantial completion in 210 days and final
acceptance within 230 calendar days but they have indicated to the
contrary; 2) the intent was to bid 210 days for substantial as well as
final completion which is not a practice of the industry; and 3) the
intent was to bid a schedule sometime less than 210 days for substan-
tial and 210 days for final acceptance.
Mr. Camell indicated that on August 9, 1994 Humphrey & Knott was
notified by letter that the item had been continued for one week but
that the item would definitely be discussed on August 16 because of
the timeframe of the project. He stated that in the same correspon-
dence, they were notified of the due date and time of the Formal
Protest of Award of Bid and the fact was highlighted that any infor-
mation regarding substantial and completion days should be included.
Mr. Camell pointed out that the Formal Protest does not address the
issue of substantial completion; however, during the meeting this
morning, Lodge Construction indicated that four (4) mistakes were
made, i.e. 210 should have been inserted where 230 appears in two (2)
places and a lesser number should have been inserted where 210
appears in two (2) places in the Bid Schedule.
Mr. Camell explained that the legal concerns regarding the
degree of irregularity, the nature of the variance and whether Lodge
Construction gained an unfair advantage through the process was
addressed. He mentioned the integrity of the bid process because of
the timeframe being such a crucial factor was also addressed.
Commissioner Volpe requested that a copy of the liquidated dama-
ges language contained in the bid specifications.
Commissioner Constantine explained that the liquidated damages
are assessed if the contractor exceeds the completion date but is not
part of the bidding process.
Tom Conrecode, OCPM Director, explained that a prudent contractor
will consider liquidated damages when arriving at a project schedule
and is material for the time/price argument between the lowest and
Page 29
second lowest bidders.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Cuyler informed that
whether an error is intentional or inadvertent has no bearinG when
dealing in a competitive situation.
Commissioner Volpe questioned the lan~tuage of "substantial
completion," "fully completed work" and "acceptance by the owner"
because of the appearance of inconsistency.
Mr. Conrecode explained that substantial completion is typically
the date the Certificate of Occupancy is issued; thereafter the punch-
list work is completed upon which the date of final acceptance is
based and within a matter of days the acceptance by owner usually
OCCUrs.
Commissioner Matthews pointed out that Lodge Construction indica-
tes that the supervisory portion of the bid is based on 30 weeks which
is 210 days. She questioned whether a bidder normally will include
supervisory fees in the intervening time from substantial to total
completion of a project?
Mr. Carnell indicated that Lodge Construction informed Staff that
normally supervisory fees are included in the final phase but is not
absolute.
Administrative Assistant to the Board Filson distributed copies
of the bid specifications relative to liquidated damages.
Commissioner Volpe pointed out that the liquidated damage is
assessed after substantial completion.
Mr. Conrecode informed the Board that if the Certificate of
Occupancy is not issued on or before the day the selected contractor
indicated substantial completion, $750 per day will be assessed until
the Certificate of Occupancy is obtained.
Commissioner Constantine explained that the purpose is to keep
the contractor committed to the date indicated for substantial
completion.
Ramiro Manalich, Assistant County Attorney, stated that the legal
case in Florida indicates that the Board can waive minor irregulart-
Page 30
August 16, 1994
ties in the bid process but cannot, as a matter of law in order to
protect the integrity of the bidding process, waive material irregu-
larities which grants to any bidder a competitive advantage. He
explained that the case involves Cape Coral in the ]ate 1970's where
the bid specifications called for a certain brand of pump but the low
bidder responded with a different brand of pump. Mr. Manalich indi-
cated that the City Council awarded the bid to the low bidder because
the company agreed to change the bid to reflect the requested brand of
pump called for in the specifications. He said that the second lowest
bidder sued for injunctive relief and prevailed in the Appeals Court
due to the fact that the low bidder had been allowed to change the bid
on an item which was specified. Mr. Manalich explained that the Court
found that the change was material and gave an advantage to the low
bidder because the company did not have to meet the same specifica-
tions as all other bidders.
Mr. Manallch stated that his legal opinion is that the error by
Lodge Construction is material and advantages can be gained by
allowing them to change their bid dates. He explained that the
situation dictates that the County could be sued by either the low or
second lowest bidders but the County can likely prevail and quickly
dismiss any attempted injunctive efforts by Lodge Construction. Mr.
Manaltch pointed out that should the second lowest bidder sue, the
County could be liable.
Commissioner Volpe recommended rejecting all bids to avoid a
lawsuit and rabid the project.
Mr. Manaltch pointed out that consideration must be given to the
timeframe.
Commissioner Constantine indicated that a number of activities at
the Golden Gate Community Center will be impacted if the project does
not go forward as scheduled.
Mr. Manalich stated that the Board has in the past waived irregu-
larities but they were minor because they did not affect time, price
or quantity. He pointed out that in this particular bid, time was a
Page 31
August 16, 1994
critical factor for bid award.
Mr. Manalich indicated that in cases where relief has been
afforded to a party claiming a mistake or error have usually been
those where a number of units and a unit price is involved and a
mathematical error was made.
Mr. Camell requested that the Board authorize Staff to negotiate
with whomever the bid is awarded to in order to bring the bid within
acceptable budget constraints. He reiterated that the difference
between the first and second lowest bidder is $47,000. Mr. Camell
also requested that the Board authorize the Chairman to execute the
contract should Staff be successful in the negotiation process, i.e.
bringing the contract amount to or below the $1.2 million allocated
project amount, since time is of the essence and the Board of County
Commissioners will not be meeting again in regular session until
September 6, 1994.
Dana Gallup of Humphrey & Knott, representing Lodge Construction,
stated that Lodge Construction submitted their bid in a timely manner
and reiterated many of the facts as presented above.
Mr. Gallup stated that what must be established is whether a
material mistake has been made that the Board cannot waive or an
irregularity which can be waived. He said that the factors are
whether a substantial variance exists and whether there is an unfair
advantage given to Lodge Construction if the error is waived.
Mr. Gallup stated that since the bid specifications clearly indi-
cated that 210 days was the deadline for completing the pro3ect, it
does not make sense that Lodge Construction would deliberately place a
number on the bid form which is inconsistent with County requirements.
He explained to the Board that the error was not intentional but was a
typographical error made by the secretary who was then directed to
subtract 20 days from the number of days for final completion for
substantial completion. Mr. Gallup stated that unfortunately the
error was not detected prior to bid submission and upon realizing the
error, steps were taken immediately to correct same.
Page 32
........ August 16, 1994
Mr. Gallup indicated that the case which Collier County Counsel
has referred to involved the contractor submitting an apparent discre-
pancy which was not an error and disturbed the integrity of the bid
process.
Mr. Gallup pointed out that no change in price occurred and had
there been no timeframe indicated and Lodge Construction tried to
change the number of days after bid opening, then the second bidder
could argue that a competitive imbalance occurred because there were
no guidelines.
Mr. Gallup stated that Lodge Construction did not have a com-
petitive advantage, they just brought their bid into conformance
which is what they needed to do in order to be considered as a
possible low bidder. He indicated that where evidence shows that the
error is clearly evident on the face of a document, then it is a
technical error that can be waived by the Board.
Commissioner Norris stated that the very clarity of the number of
days on the front page would also indicate that it is not an error.
Mr. Gallup indicated that the mistake was a clerical error which
was not detected.
Commissioner Norris pointed out that the same number of days was
inserted twice and would only have appeared once if it were an inad-
vettent error.
Commissioner Constantine explained that correspondence he
received specifically indicated that the error was typographical.
Mr. Gallup stated that the back-up information submitted with the
Formal Protest letter indicates that Lodge Construction computed their
bid on a 210 day basis. He explained that the number of substantial
completion days should be 190 days with final completion being
210 days.
Commissioner Constantine stated that Lodge Construction is per-
forming other work for Collier County well. He explained that the
question is the responsiveness to the bid and whether the error was
intentional or not is not important but taking the responsibility for
Page 33
August 16, 1994
that error is important. Commissioner Constantine pointed out that
for a project over a million dollars, the details should not be left
for a clerical person to handle.
Tape d~3
Commissioner Constantine stated that the potential for an unfair
advantage exists if the number of days is allowed to be changed in the
bid and he is not comfortable with allowing the change.
Commissioner Norris stated it is unfortunate that the mistake was
made and difficulty lies in not awarding a bid to the lowest bidder
but the operative word is the lowest "responsive" bidder.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Conrecode replied that the
urgency for the expansion of the Golden Gate Community Center is dri-
ven by the event calendar schedule for the Spring of 1995. He
explained that one (1) bidder bid a substantial completion of 120 days
Just for the parking lot.
Commissioner Constantine pointed out that the urgency for expan-
sion at the Golden Gate Community Center is great because of daily
utilization and the fact that the Center has to turn groups and people
away.
Mr. Conrecode indicated that the timeframe for rebidding the
project is 45 to 60 days. He stated that the 180 days for substantial
completion indicated by Chris-Tel Company would probably not be
bettered. Mr. Conrecode explained that Staff is anticipating a
September 1, 1994 start date which would mean a substantial completion
date in the month of February 1995 and final completion toward the end
of March 1995.
Mr. Gallup emphasized that Lodge Construction agreed within hours
of the bid opening and still agrees to perform the work in the 210 day
timeframe with substantial completion in 190 days. He pointed out
that Lodge Construction has performed good work on a number of pro-
Jects for Collier County in the past in a timely, efficient manner.
Mr. Gallup stated that the error committed by Lodge Construction
is not material and does not disadvantage other bidders.
Page 34
August 16, 1994
In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Cuy/er stated that
the potential impact should the Board decide in Lodge Construction's
favor is that the Court will determine that the competitive bid pro-
cess was disturbed.
Commissioner Matthews moved, seconded by Commissioner Norris and
carried 4/0 (Commissioner Saunders out), that the bid protest be
denied because the difference in substantial completion dates between
the low bidder and second lowest bidder is substantial and that the
bid submitted by Lodge Construction be considered nonresponsive.
Commissioner Constantine moved, seconded by Commissioner Matthews
and carried 4/0 (Commissioner Saunders out), that Staff be authorized
to negotiate with the second lowest bidder to obtain a construction
contract for the Golden Gate Comity Center within the allocated
budget of $1.24 million and that the Chairman be authorized to execute
said contract should negotiations be successful.

Item elOC
DISCUSSION RE CLAM PASS ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY - STAFF TO MEET WITH
CONSULTAMT AND ALL AFFECTED PARTIES AND COME BACK ON 9/6 OR 9/13/94
Commissioner Saunders advised that he has received several
telephone calls and letters from people in Clam Bay, Naples Cay and
Pelican Bay, with regard to the status of the evaluation of the die
off of the mangroves. He indicated that he understands that the scope
of the evaluation is very limited and requested a presentation from
staff as to the status of the study, the scope of the study and what
needs to be done in terms of expanding the scope of same.
CommJ.~|oner S~uD,].r',~ rept~rt~d that the Clam Bay area Is the
County's first and only Natural Resource Protection Area (NRPA) which
will be used as a guide to develop other NRPA's for other areas in the
County.
Jerry Neal, Engineering Project Manager, stated that the Office of
Page 35
August 16, 1994
Capital Projects Management ls working on the hydraulics of the system
which will be followed up with water quality testing. He noted that
the Inlet Management Plan was approved for a hydraulic study to be
done at the inlet and the entire area would include the Seagate area
to Doctors Pass.
Mr. Neal explained that if the restriction at Seagate Drive is
open, there would be better flushing for both the Clam Pass and
Venetian Bay areas. In addition, if so desired by the Board, the
North end and the flushing in the die off area of the mangrove areas
could be included.
Mr. Neal reported that there is addendum to the existing contract
with the consultant for the Inlet Management Plan. He pointed out
that when the Board approved the contract, the study of the North and
South end was approved. He indicated that a funding source was not
included nor was the go ahead to proceed with including the North and
South end with the Inlet Management Plan.
Commissioner Saunders stated that it appears there is a proposal
for the overall study, but only one portion of the study has been
funded.
Environmental Services Administrator Lorenz advised that Mr. Neal
is speaking about the very detailed study to support the Inlet
Management Plan. He noted In March, 1994, the Board directed staff to
do the comprehensive NRPA for the Clam Bay system which includes water
quality, mangrove die off, exotics and other types of issues that are
being addressed in the context of a total NRPA program.
Mr. Lorenz explained that staff has done the field work, assessed
the area, and a technical report is being developed. He stated that
an EPTAB sub-committee has recently been established for the Clam Bay
NRPA. He related that the technical report will work through EPTAB
and a series of recommendations for management guidelines will be pre-
sented to the Commission.
With regard to water quality, Mr. Lorenz indicated that the
Pelican Bay Improvement District has in excess of 10 years worth of
August 16, 1994
data that is being assessed as part of the technical report. He
revealed that the monitoring program is ongoing and recommendations
will be made as to how to change that program to answer additional
questions.
In response to Commissioner Saunders, Mr. Lorenz replied that he
believes staff is moving in the correct direction in terms of deve-
loping the NRPA report and when that report is developed, recommen-
dations will be made with regard to funding for a variety of different
efforts. He suggested waiting until the report is complete to see the
total picture, understand what the total resources will be, understand
the objectives for the system and then make decisions to increase
water quality monitoring or do some other things. He noted that he
anticipates that the technical report will be completed by the end of
this year and presented to the Board in January, 1995.
Mr. Todd Turfell stated that his firm has the contract to do the
Clam Pass work, which is specific to the Inlet. He remarked that
there are various addendum to extend the work to the North and to the
South, and noted that his biggest concern is that an area that is
important is being studied, however, the problem areas are not being
studied. He advised that it would not be advantageous to do the field
work and only the Inlet area without doing the North and South.
In response to Commissioner Matthews, Mr. Lorenz advised that his
1994-95 budget does not include any funds for any services over and
above the typical monitoring programs. He indicated that the Inlet
Management Plan project funding is part of the monitoring for the
total system but has a different set of objectives and these will take
two years to accomplish.
Mr. Turfell announced that the contract includes hydrographic
engineers and water quality monitoring, noting he believes it contains
what is needed to do a comprehensive job on the entire project.
In answer to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Lorenz affirmed that
the initial contract that was awarded to Turfell & Associates was
funded through TDC funds and there is no budget for the expanded
Page 37
AugUst 16, 1994
program, as being proposed.
Commissioner Matthews remarked that it appears the Board is
desiring to do things and staff is authorized to move in certain
directions but at the same time, the Commission is not being told what
to anticipate in terms of costs and whether to include these costs in
the budget.
Mr. Lorenz affirmed that he anticipated coming back to the Board
in January with a total NRPA program for the Clam Bay area that would
recommend what the costs of that program would be for the Board's con-
sideration of the implementation aspect at a later time.
Commissioner Saunders questioned the cost difference in what is
being done and what had been contemplated to be done.
Mr. Neal revealed that the cost for the North end is $75,500; and
the cost for the lower end is $131,827.
The following persons spoke with regard to this item:
Scott Brady, representing Naples Cay Properties
Roy Lewis, Environmental Consultant
Fran Stallings, representing Florida Wildlife Federation
Commissioner Saunders concurred with Dr. Stallings remarks in
terms of EPTAB. He recalled that it was EPTAB that recommended that
the NRPA program be established, and noted he is uncertain as to their
role in the evaluation.
Commissioner Saunders stated that staff has made conflicting
remarks. He indicated that Mr. Neal cited that staff is looking for a
source of funds to move forward with the total hydraulic study and on
the other hand, Mr. Lorenz reported that staff is moving along in a
manner that will be resolved in coming back to the Board looking for
funds in the Spring of 1995.
Mr. Neal remarked that the Office of Capital Projects Management
is looking at what would happen if the flushing restriction is opened
at Seagate, having flow from Clam Pass and Doctors Pass and what that
would do to the entire system. He noted that the hydraulics of the
system is not part of Mr. Lorenz's report study that he is preparing.
In answer to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Lorenz replied that the
Page 38
August 16, 1994
appropriate dollars have not been budgeted for a total comprehensive
monitoring effort. He related that he anticipated doing an assessment
of where all the information is and objectives of same. He explained
that there are many conflicting issues that have arisen today, i.e.
opening up the connection between the Venetian Bay and the Clam Bay
system and if the Board is interested in entertaining this as an idea
which will be addressed in the NRPA technical document, a monitoring
study would be necessary to identify those objectives,
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether it is premature to embark
upon a full blown study, using the services of Mr. Turfell or another
consultant for this purpose, to which Mr. Lorenz replied
affirmatively.
Commissioner Saunders announced that there appears to be many
conflicting views with regard to this item. He suggested that staff
meet with the consultants and any other interested parties and come
back to the Board on September 6 or 13, 1994 and advise as to the
manner in which to proceed.
Commissioner Matthews suggested that staff invite the beach
renourishment committee to participate in the upcoming meeting.
It was the consensus of the Board for staff to meet with the con-
sultant, Beach Renourishment Committee and all affected parties and
retu/-n to the Board on September 6 or September 13, 1994.

SELECTION OF TOP-RANKED FIRM TO ENTER INTO A MASTER LEASE AGRMEP[ENT
(RFP-94-2228) - AWARDED TO LEASE RESOURCE, INC.
Purchasing Director Camell stated that this item is a recommen-
dation to select the top-ranked firm to enter into a Master Lease
Agreement with the County.
Mr. Camell explained that the purpose of this agreement is to
provide a financing tool to give the Board alternatives for procuring
major capital expenditures. He reported that the instigator for this
contract is the forthcoming 800 MHz radio system project. He pointed
Page 39
AUgust 16, 1994
out that the scope of this agreement has been written more broadly to
include other projects, where appropriate, should the need and oppor-
tunity arise to utilize this type of agreement.
Mr. Camell advised that the agreement provides for a three year
term with the recommended party and staff will be able to initiate
multi year lease purchase agreements with the contractor. He noted
that the rates established under this agreement are based on a fixed
mark up or discount.
ess Commissioner Saunders left the room at this time **s
Mr. Camell reported that there are no projects at the present
time that are envisioned, or that have been decided on or directed by
the Board to be funded through this agreement.
Mr. Camell explained that the Finance Committee recommends the
firm of Lease Resource, Inc.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Camell replied that the 800
MHz system is the primary project currently and this agreement may be
utilized for same.
Commissioner Norris questioned whether this agreement obligates
the County to enter into all the lease purchases through the awardee.
Mr. Camell replied that the agreement does not obligate the County in
this regard.
Commtmstoner Norris moved, seconded by Commissioner Matthews and
carried 4/0 (Commissioner Saunders out), to award RFP-94-2228 to Lease
Reeeurce, Inc.

CHANGE ORDER NO. THREE TO THE NORTH COUNTY REGIONAL WASTEWATER
TREATMElT[ PLANT EXPANSION PROJECT WITH MILMIR CONSTRUCTION, INC. FOR
THE INSTALLATION OF A FUEL DEPOT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE
ROAD INTO TEE PLANT PROPERTY FROM GOODLETTE ROAD - CONTINUED; STAFF TO
DISCUSS TH~ POSSIBILITY OF THE NORTH NAPLES FIRE DISTRICT
PARTICIPATING IN CAPITAL LEVEL OF FUELING STATION
Administrative Services Administrator Ochs advised that the County
currently owns and operates four fueling depots located in the
Carnestown/Everglades City area, Marco Island, Road & Bridge Facility
Page 40
August 16, 1994
in Immokalee and at the County Barn Road Transportation Facility in
East Naples. In addition, he noted by reciprocal agreement with the
School Board, the County also has access to Collier County Public
School District's fueling station which is located in the general
vicinity of Pine Ridge Road and Airport Road.
Mr. Ochs recommended the construction of a fuel island at the
North County Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. He cited that the
County has a number of facilities in and around the immediate area of
the proposed site. He remarked that Northern Collier County is the
fastest growing area in the County and there is a demand for addi-
tional service in that location.
Mr. Ochs pointed out that an analysis conducted by Fleet
Management reveals that non-productive refueling travel time by staff
could result in an annual savings of $50,000 - $65,000, based on two
persons in a vehicle and a 20 minute round trip. He noted that this
study was based on travel between the Immokalee Road site and the
School Board site and back out to the field.
Mr. Ochs reported that staff has had discussions with the
Sheriff's Office and Chief Jones of the North Naples Fire Department.
He reported that both of those agencies had previous discussions with
the Office of Capita/Projects Management when the facilities were
being designed on Vanderbilt Beach Road since they were desirous of
designing fuel depots to service their agencies. He noted that both
agencies indicated that they would use and pay for their fuel at the
proposed site as opposed to constructing their own facility.
Commissioner Constantine questioned whether staff has discussed
the possibility of the Sheriff's Office and North Naples Fire
Department sharing the capital costs.
County Manager Dotrill stated that the North Naples FIre
Department has the desire to build a fire and administrative facility
on property that is being evaluated and proposed to be obtained from
the County. He indicated that he is not certain whether the Fire
District will have money ]n their budget to cost share.
Page 41
August 16, 1994
County Manager Dorrtll recalled that the Sheriff requested funds
to build a North County fueling site which would have come from the
Board of County Commissioners and in lieu of that, staff requested
that he wait until the subject plant could be developed and presented
to the Board so that there would be one plant as opposed to two dif-
ferent sites.
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether the hospital has a fueling
operation at the North Collier facility. Mr. Ochs replied that he is
not certain whether there is a fueling operation at that facility, and
noted that staff will ascertain that information.
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, Fleet Management Director Dan
l>ucher replied that the access road is proposed for the perimeter of
the Wast#water Treatment Plant.
Tape #4
In answer to Commissioner Volpe, County Manager Dorrtll remarked
that a new fire station at the subject location could be a good idea.
He explained that this would further the argument that the fire sta-
tion would be wanting to buy fuel from the County on that site and if
so they may be willing to pay a slight surcharge or participate with a
portion of the capital costs for same. He affirmed that the site that
ls desired by Chief Jones is located at the Wast#water Treatment
Plant.
Commissioner Volpe moved, seconded by Commissioner Constantine and
carried 4/0 (Commissioner Saunders out), to continue this item for a
period of time to allow staff to engage in discussions with the North
Naples Fire Control and Rescue District re the possibility of that
agency participating in the capital level of the construction of the
fueling station.

the Environmental Advisory Board is recommending the reappointment of
both members.
Commissioner Matthews requested that the Board consider the
appointment of James Gore since he is new to the area and as a biolo-

RESOLUTION 94-606, ESTABLISHING A POLICY REQUIRING AN IDENTIFIED AND
APPROVED FUNDING SOURCE BEFORE THE BOARD COMMITS TO A PROGRAM, PROJECT
OR CONTRACT - ADOPTED
Commissioner Constantine explained if the Board proposes to commit
to spending money it should be known from where and how that money
will be obtained. He suggested that commitments should not be made
until the source of funding is known.
Commissioner Constantine indicated if the Board determines that
money should be taken from Reserves, it should be so stated at the
time a commitment is made for that program.
County Manager Dotrill stated that he views the resolution as spe-
cifying the current fiscal impact section as indicated in the execu-
tive summaries.
Commissioner Saunders remarked that the Board has committed to
building the second crossing over the Gordon River Bridge, recognizing
the importance of this to the community, however, no one has any idea
how that project will be paid for.
Commissioner Saunders indicated that under the Florida
Constitution, the County cannot engage in debt without a way to pay
for same. He explained he does not have a problem with the policy,
but noted he does not believe it will accomplish anything.
With regard to the Gordon River crossing, Commissioner Constantine
stated that the Board has committed in concept to having a bridge,
however, the County has not entered into a contract to physically
build that structure. He indicated that part of the planning is doing
the toll studies, etc. to establish how the bridge will be paid for.
In answer to Commissioner Saunders, County Attorney Cuyler advised
with regard to a line of credit, the source of repayment has to be
identified.
The following persons spoke with regard to this item:
Sewell Corkran Neno Spagna
Commissioner Saunders cited concerns as to how the County can do
Page 45
August 16, 1994
the PD&E studies for the second Gordon River crossing project if the
funding source has not been identified for the actual construction
project, but noted that County Attorney Cuyler has indicated that this
resolution will not create a problem in that regard and therefore,
will support the resolution.
County Manager Dotrill noted that in lieu of the Resolution
stating "with any Board decision" it may be appropriate for the
language to read "with any final Board decision".
Commissioner Volpe questioned whether the Board supports direction
to staff to explore, as part of the development of the budget policies
for FY 95/96, to budget those dollars for specific projects that have
been identified within the existing fiscal year and if there is
something that is not a part of the current budget and is not a
question of health, safety and welfare, there should be some guideli-
nes for exceptions and that would be an instance of an unbudgeted item
coming forward.
Commissioner Constantine cited that he supports Commissioner
Volpe's suggestion.
Commissioner Matthews stated that she does not object to
Commissioner Volpe's suggestion and noted that there have been instan-
ces where staff has been given direction after the end of a fiscal
year knowing that money has to be spent, however, when the time comes
to spend the money and let the contract the Board is informed that the
project has not been budgeted.
Commtmsioner Norris moved, seconded by Commissioner Volpe and
carried ~nanimously, that Resolution 94-606, establishing Board policy
req~iring In identified and approved funding source before conitting

DR. SHARIF RE PERSONNEL POLICY - STAFF DIRECTED TO DETERMINE IF PROPER
PROCEDURE WAS FOLLOWED AND TO REVIEW THE APPEAL PROCESS
County Manager Dotrill announced that Dr. Sharif is going to
speak on behalf of an employment matter involving his wife. He said
that he had discussed the issue briefly with Dr. Sharif.
Dr. Rasool S. Sharif stated that he has been in business for him-
self as well as State and Federal Government. He said that he has
been involved in many personnel procedures.
Dr. Sharif stated that his wife brought to his attention a
grievance that she filed regarding a promotion in her department. He
said that he reviewed the appeal procedure. He said that the proce-
dure clearly indicates a three step procedure. He stated that each of
the steps is to be heard and judged by County Management. He said
that this procedure will cause the County problems with Equal
Employment Opportunity, Labor Department and Treasury Department.
Dr. Sharif stated that his wife is the lowest paid employee in the
County and has been denied two promotions. He said that when the
Assistant County Manager asked her Supervisor why she had not been
promoted he said it was because he was unable to contact her former
employers.
Dr. Sharif requested that his wife be promoted to the position
that she applied for and that the appeal procedure be reviewed.
Commissioner Constantine stated that the Board of County
Commissioners did not have the authority to promote individuals. He
explained that all the employees, with the exception of the County
Attorney, Airport Authority Executive Director and County Manager,
'fall under the County Manager. He said that the Board does have the
authority to review the appeal process.
Dr. Sharif stated that it is his understanding that under State
law the Board is obligated to correct any flaw or default in manage-
Page 47
August 16, 1994
ment procedure.
County Attorney Cuyler stated that Commissioner Constantine is
correct. He explained that under the personnel rules the Board of
County Commissioners does not have the ability to question the County
Manager's employment decisions. He also agreed that the Board can
review the personnel rules and regulations.
County Manager Dotrill explained that Mrs. Sharif is an Office
Assistant currently working in Court Administration. He said that she
applied for the Witness Coordinator position, was evaluated by Mr.
Brigham, Court Administrator, and another individual from the Court
Administrators Office in Fort Myers.
Mr. Dotrill explained that the issues pertaining to Mrs. Shartf
not being selected for the vacancy had to do with the Board's policy
to give initial consideration to existing employees. He said that a
review of the record indicated that procedurally there were no viola-
tions. He said that he is surprised to hear Dr. Sharlf has a concern
that there is an issue that pertains to discrimination because
Assistant County Manager Hargett, who had heard the appeal, specifi-
cally asked if they were making a claim of any discrimination and if
so to present facts to support that claim. He said that it is his
understanding that after some discussion Mrs. Sharif and Mr. Guardino,
her advisor, indicated that they were withdrawing any alleged discri-
mination as part of that. He said that he advised Dr. Sharif that if
he wanted to present any additional information he would be happy to
review it.
County Manager Dotrill stated that the final hiring has not taken
place and several other candidates are being evaluated,
In response to Dr. Shar]f's remark, County Manager Dotrill stated
that he is unaware of any deviation from the time requirements. He
said that if he is unable to hear a grievance it is heard by his
designated representative who in this case was Mr. Hargett. He said
that the only other deviation in procedure that he is aware of is the
level procedure. He explained that there is a three level grievance
74
Page 48
August 16, 1994
procedure. He stated that Level One was skipped in this case because
the immediate supervisor in this case was no longer employed with the
County. He said that procedurally the County's policy was adhered to.
Commissioner Constantine suggested that the County Attorney and
County Manager work with Dr. Sharif to determine if the procedure was
followed properly. He said that if there is any evidence that it was
not adhered to in the past that the County Manager be made aware of
that fact. He suggested that the Board review the appeal procedure.
Commissioner Norris stated that the Board considers any charge of
discrimination very serious.
Commissioner Constantine stated that the issue cannot be settled
here.

ORDI/~AI~CE 94-38 RE PETITION PUD-94-4, ALAN D. REYNOLDS, AICP, OF
WILSON, MILLER, BARTON AND PEEK, INC., REPRESENTING JOHN H. HARRIS,
TRUSTEE, R~QUESTING A REZONE FROM "A" RURAL AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT TO
PUD FOR A RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT OF VARIOUS HOUSING STRUCTURE TYPES
AND PROVISION FOR ADULT CONGREGATE LIVING FACILITIES FOR A PROJECT TO
BE KllO%~II AS HUNTINGTON ON THE NORTH SIDE OF IMMOKALEE ROAD - ADOPTED
WITH CHARGES
Legal notice having been published in the Naples Daily News on
July 28, 1994, as evidenced by Affidavit of Publication filed with the
Clerk, public hearing was opened.
Planner Ron N/no stated that this petition is a request to fezone
120 acres of land from Rural Agricultural to PUD. He said that the
name of the project is the Huntington PUD. He described the location
and surrounding land uses of the property.
Mr. Nino said that the proposal for Huntington will have 112
acres that will be used for single and multi-family housing with a
maximum of 580 dwelling units. He stated that the PUD also proposes
eight acres to be set aside along Immokalee Road to be used for Adult
Congregate Living Facility (ACLF) housing with a maximum of 200
dwelling units for density of 25 dwelling units per acre. He
explained that density rating system of the Growth Management Plan
will allow 26 dwelling units per acre for ACLF development. He said
Page 49
August 16, 1994
that because the property is within one mile of an activity center
qualifies it for a density bonus of up to three dwelling units per
acre. He stated that Staff did not recommend the deletion of a unit
because of a lack of interconnection because it does not physically
connect with Quail II. It does have access on one arterial road and
one emerging arterial road, therefore Staff believes that it is
entitled to the four dwelling units.
Planner Nino stated that this project is consistent with the
Future Land Use Element of the Growth Management Plan and all elements
of the Land Development Code. He stated that the Collier County
Planning Commission (CCPC) recommended approval of the project 8/0.
He said that there were citizens at the CCPC meeting who expressed
opposition to the project.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Nino explained that
Northbrooke Drive is to be dedicated to the County as a public road.
Transportation Services Administrator Archibald stated that
included in the Comprehensive Plan and Growth Management Plan there is
a service roadway for that part of the County that extends Oaks
Boulevard and Immokalee Road north to Bonita Beach Road. He said
that the alignment of that roadway falls on both the property that is
being considered today and also the property where Northbrooke Drive
is being built. He said Staff is attempting to require this developer
and the developer of Quail West to align and build segments of the
roadway so it will be part of the future collector arterial roadway.
He said that the Quail West project has dedicated over a 100 feet of
right-of-way for the extension of that roadway to the north side of
their project. He said that he hoped that between the three projects
a collector roadway will be incorporated.
Kathleen Passidomo, representing John H. Harris, Trustee, stated
that she is requesting that the Board of County Commissioners fezone
119 acres at the intersection of Immokalee Road and Northbrooke Drive
east of 1-75 interchange and its surrounding activity center from
Agricultural to PUD as described in the PUD document. She said that
Page 50
August 16, 1994
competent, substantial evidence will be presented to prove that the
present character of the property is unsuited for its existing
Agricultural Zoning classification in light of the more intensive
surrounding development.
Ms. Passidomo stated that the proposed Huntington PUD is con-
sistent with the Comprehensive Plan. She said that approval of the
proposed Huntington PUD is appropriate and in the best interest of the
County.
Alan Reynolds, AICP, of Wilson, Miller, Barton and Peek, Inc.,
stated that that when the property was first looked at several things
were identified that lend themselves to the type of residential pro-
ject that is being proposed. He said that the first is that the pro-
Ject has been previously cleared for agricultural use. He said that
it has no environmental or developmental constraints on the property.
He reported that the second consideration is that 1-75 and the acti-
vity center is approximately 1,500 feet to the west of the property
line. He said that bordering the east side of the property, between
the proposed Huntington project and Quail Creek Village property, is
an 80 foot wide drainage easement that has an existing drainage ditch.
He stated that this area is one of the best served locations in
Collier County from the standpoint of public facilities.
Mr. Reynolds stated that what is proposed for the Huntington
Development is a low density, low rise residential community.
*** At this time, Deputy Clerk Fernley replaced Deputy Clerk Barbiretti
Mr. Reynolds stated that 5.2 units per acre are being requested
and is low for a multifamily project unless the project is a golf
course community. He pointed out that the least dense multifamily
district is RMF-6 which allows six (6) units per acre.
Mr. Reynolds indicated that low rise refers to a height of
35 feet which is the height which is permitted and restricted in the
County single family districts. He stated that the plan for the pro-
Ject is for two (2) story units.
Page 51
August 16, 1994
Mr. Reynolds mentioned that four (4) lakes have been identified
as amenittes with a common recreational facility located at the
entrance to the project.
Mr. Reynolds pointed out that the right-of-way for the extension
of 0aksBoulevard has been accommodated which left an eight (8) acre
parcel between Oaks Boulevard and Immokalee Road and adjacent to an
activity center. He explained that commercial use is prohibited for
this project but an adult congregate living facility is permitted.
Mr. Reynolds stated that a number of residents from Quail Creek
Village expressed some concerns at the Collier County Planning
Commission meeting but the Board recommende~ approval of this
petition. He explained that a meeting with the adjacent homeowners
was held several weeks ago to address their concerns but unfortunately
not all the concerns were resolved. Mr. Reynolds pointed out that the
units in the Huntington project closest to the existing Quail Creek
Village have been configured to face west toward the amenity with a
buffer on the outside next to the perimeter loop road. He indicated
that the same or greater buffers than at Quail Creek Village are pro-
vided and the distance between the closest residential structures is
approximately 200 feet with each unit orienting the opposite
direction.
Mr. Reynolds indicated that a low profile approach is being pro-
posed to address another concern of the Quail Creek Village residents.
He said that the Quail II PUD allows four (4) story structures but the
Huntington PUD is limited to 35 feet which equates to a two (2) story
structure.
Mr. Reynolds stated that the subject property must serve a tran-
sitional purpose because the 1-75 interchange is a very intensive use
plus the activity center and Huntington will be the first residential
property heading east on Immokalee Road. He explained that Huntington
has a higher density than Quail Creek Village but is less than the
Comprehensive Plan allows and is compatible for the location while
providing an adequate buffer between 1-75 and the activity center.
Page 52
August 16, 1994
Mr. Reynolds mentioned that the petitioner is moving forward in
the Site Development Plan process by designing bridges, and construc-
tion of the extension of Oaks Boulevard to Northbrooke Drive is
planned before the end of 1994.
Commissioner Norris questioned what is planned for Phase II of
the project?
Mr. Reynolds informed the Board that Phase II product has not
been determined at this time but 360 residential units are planned for
Phase I so approximately 220 residential units could be allocated. He
pointed out that Phase II will be less dense than Phase I which
equates to approximately four (4) units per acre, probably a four (4)
plex townhouse or patio home type product.
The following persons spoke on this item:
Tony Podorski
Fran Ochs
Mr. Reynolds pointed out that the suggested density for
Huntington is not out-of-line with similar projects ironring Immokalee
Road east from Airport Road, i.e. Regent Park at six (6) units per
acre, Willowby Gardens at six (6) units per acres, April Circle at
thirteen plus (13+) units per acres (an affordable housing project),
Northport Plaza at 10.6 units per acre, and without the impact of
being immediately adjacent an activity center. He stated that mixed
housing opportunities must be provided in Collier County because not
everyone can afford to live in a golf course community.
Mr. Reynolds stated that the Quail II PUD has 33 acres of commer-
cial land use which compensates for the lower density that was
approved for the residential area. He explained that by utilizing the
mathematics of how the Comprehensive Plan treats commercial ]and use,
the 33 commercial acres equates to approximately 528 residential units
but the actual intensity is much greater.
Mr. Reynolds pointed out that the approved land uses on the west
side of Quail Creek Village, immediately adjacent to the petttioner's
property, allows 7.5 units per acre with the golf course maintenance
Page 53
August 16, 1994
facility at the other end.
Mr. Reynolds stated that the quality of the development and buf-
fers proposed are high quality with state of the art landscaping per
the County Land Development Code.
Commissioner Volpe stated that the Huntington PUD document reser-
ves to the developer the option of either an ACLF or 70 residential
units. He questioned whether the developer would be agreeable to
limiting the property to the 70 residential units?
Mr. Reynolds responded that the petitioner prefers to retain the
ACLF use because the use is more viable for the sub3ect piece of pro-
perry and ACLF is a permitted use with less density.
Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Volpe pointed out that the concern of the ad3acent
property owners regarding the eight (8) acre commercial parcel needs
to be addressed.
Commissioner Norris stated he prefers that a choice regarding the
eight (8) acre commercial parcel be made before approvtng the petition
and questioned if the petitioner will accept limiting the parcel to
the 70 residential units?
Mr. Reynolds acknowledged that the petitioner will accept
limiting the eight (8) acre parcel to the 70 residential units.
Commissioner Volpe moved, seconded by Coamtsstoner Saundere to
approve Petttlon PUD-94-4 with the eight (8) acre parcel designated
for not more than 70 residential units thereby limiting the overall
denslty of the project to not more than 5.4 unite, and subject to all
Staff coudltton, and stipulations.
Mr. Ntno stated that three (3) citation references need to be
corrected: "...to the Comprehensive Plan" needs to be added to the end
of Paragraph 3, Page 24, of the Executive Summary which is part of the
PUD document; Page 25, Item 1.4D references Section 3.8.9 which should
read Section S.8.9.2.1; and Page 27, Paragraph 2.7 references
Section 3.2.8.4.9.1 but "and Section 2.5.12" needs to be added
thereafter.
Page 54
August 16, 1994
Commissioner Volpe amended hie motion to include the language
corrections as listed above. Commissioner Saundere amended his
second.
Upon call for the question, the motion carried unanimously that
Ordinance No. 94-38 be adopted and entered into Ordinance Book No.
Commissioner Constantine informed the Board that Commissioner
Saunders must leave the meeting and requested that Item No. 13B1 be
heard at this time since a 4/Sths vote is required.

Mr. Lavefry indicated that the Ordinance and attached documents
received input from the County's Purchasing Department, Code
Enforcement, Risk Management, Clerk's FInance Department, County
Attorney's Office and the City of Naples' Community Development
Department.
Mr. Lavefry stated that two (2) funding sources are available for
a rehabilitation program with opportunity to expand.
Commissioner Constantine stated that under the Affordable Housing
Program, a moderate income family is one whose annual income does not
exceed 80 percent of the median income for the area, low income ]s
60 percent and very low income is 50 percent. He pointed out that
Attachment A to the ordinance refers to lower Income family as
80 percent and Immediate drops to very low Income family at
50 percent.
Mr. Lavefry informed that the new dollar figures were Just
Page 56
August 16, 1994
released but the funds will be available for rehabilitation services
only to very low income persons.
Mr. Lavetry stated that the only variance to the Local Housing
Assistance Plan is funds made available through Hurricane Andrew
Assistance which will cover low and very low income persons.
Mr. Lavetry explained that Attachment B to the ordinance lists
all forms for implementation of the program and includes eligibility
determination forms, contract documents and inspection forms to be
utilized by Staff.
Mr. Lavetry stated that all forms and contracts have been
reviewed by the County Attorney's Office, as well as program guideli-
nes and administrative procedures.
Mr. Laverty pointed out that Form B, Applicant Income
Certification, is required by the Florida Housing Financing Agency for
all jurisdictions receiving rehabilitation funds under the State
Housing Initiatives Partnership Program.
Mr. Lavetry stated that included as part of the contract docu-
ments between the County and participating contractors are guidelines
and specifications for rehabilitation and home repair and provide
guidance for completion under the rehabilitation program as well as
minimal requirements for materials that may be purchased with program
funds. He said that the specifications also provide guidelines for
Staff at the work inspection stage and payment stage.
Mr. Lavetry stated that approximately $198,460 is available this
fiscal year through the SHIP Program and $90,000 through the Hurricane
Andrew Assistant Fund.
Commissioner Volpe questioned if a minimum dollar amount has been
set for the hurricane assistance program or can someone apply to have
an air conditioner or door replaced?
Mr. Lavetry indicated that the procedure to be followed is once
an application is received, Collier County Code Enforcement will
conduct the initial inspection of the residence to determine code
violations which will be taken care of prior to replacement of stan-
Page 57
August 16, 1994
dard fixtures.
Commissioner Volpe voiced concern that small maintenance projects
may go undetected in the program.
Mr. Lavefry stated that from information and photographs on file,
funds will most likely not be available to complete all the work for
the low income families that need assistance.
In response to Commissioner Volpe, Mr. Lavetry informed that the
dollar limits adopted as policy guidelines are $7,500 for SHIP funds
and $10,000 is available with Hurricane Andrew Assistance if code
violations are present.
Commissioner Matthews questioned if the process to be used to
determine how the monies are spent over the next couple of years when
limited SHIP funds will be available is on a first come, first serve
basis? Mr. Lavetry answered in the affirmative.
Mr. Laverty informed the Board that a basic outreach program
conducted through local nonprofit organizations and churches will be
utilized to notify those persons in need of assistance.
In response to Commissioner Constantine, Mr. Lavetry indicated
that the SHIP Program funds come through the Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) and the local Housing Assistance Program limits the
expenses to $7,500 per dwelling unit for a very low income household
and does not address low income or moderate income households. He
stated that the Hurricane Andrew funds are available for low Income
fulllee.
Commissioner Constantine closed the public hearing.
